It is an exciting time for us 1st year MLHR students. Over the summer, I was anxiously awaiting what this new chapter of my life would bring. And I have to admit – I was nervous! On the first day of orientation, I had no idea what to expect and had the butterflies fluttering around in my stomach. As my first blog, I felt it was fitting to give you all a little insight on what I loved most about MLHR orientation and how I got those butterflies away. So, here goes nothing!

Opportunity

The opportunities and resources here at Fisher are endless. From the organizations, internship options, and networking, I know I will have no problem keeping myself busy the next 2 years. One of my favorite things from orientation was the panel of 2nd year MLHR students who came to give advice, answer questions, and tell about their experience so far at Fisher. I was very involved in organizations in undergrad and cannot wait to join GHRA (Graduate Human Resources Association)!

Diversity

I am always up for meeting new people and I was eager to see where all my classmates would be from come this fall. The first night of orientation, our advisers put together a fun quiz to help us become more acquainted with one another. The quiz consisted of 4 facts and we were to guess which one was false. After guessing the false fact, each student represented in the ‘true facts’ confirmed which one was theirs. I was astounded by all of the different backgrounds of my classmates! I have lived in Ohio my entire life. Although I have met many people from different backgrounds over the years, I have never been in a setting such as this. The class of 2013 come from all over the world and possess an array of personalities. Getting to know one another over the next 2 years will not only be exciting, but will surely enhance our social development and prepare us as successful HR professionals. Just think, how boring would it be if we all had everything in common with one another?

Tour of Ohio Stadium

View from the press box - Do you feel the greatness?

I am, and always have been, I huge fan of Ohio State football. Although all my life it has been Cleveland sports and Notre Dame in my household, I found my way to the greatness! So, as you can already tell I was very excited to learn my classmates and I would be getting a tour of Ohio Stadium.

Even though I ‘claim’ to be a huge fan of the Buckeyes and have been to many games, I did not know much about the history of Ohio Stadium. My classmates and I were given a complete tour (inside and out) and told all of the stories of how this stadium came to be one of the most eccentric in the country (I would love to share, but some of you may be getting this tour next fall!) After the tour was over, I had even a more clear understanding as to why Ohio State Football is a secular religion here in Columbus.

I look forward to the next 2 years at Fisher. Here’s to a new beginning!
